Already ordered a new pump and to be honest whenI took the old pump all apart didn't pay attention to get it back together right. Pause it's been on the engine since 1994, so feel safe with putting on a new one.

If I pull the valve covers off, would it be obvious identifying a bent push rod? I have original max wedge adjustable rockers as an FYI and crane hi-intensity lifters with a 302 duration crane cam. Engine was built back in 1992 and has about 40,000 miles on it. Forged crank and forged TRW flat top Pistons, stock rods that were shot peened and magnafluxed with arp rod bolts.
